Getting certified is an important step. Putting that certification to work is where new opportunities can begin.

CWE and Common Capital are bringing certified entrepreneurs and procurement professionals together for Connect, Pitch, and Grow: 2026 Matchmaker Event.

If you’re a WBENC or Veteran-owned Certified business, this is an opportunity to leverage your certification by getting directly in front of buyers. Introduce your business, share what you can offer, learn what procurement professionals are looking for, and start building relationships that could lead to future contracts.

Participants will move from room to room to meet with procurement representatives, pitch their businesses, and make the kinds of connections certification is designed to help unlock.

🗓 Thursday, November 5, 2026
⏰ 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
📍 276 Bridge St., Springfield, MA
☕️ Light refreshments will be provided

Growing a business is rarely a solo journey and having the right support can make all the difference.

That’s what [Wendy Pease], Owner of [Rapport International], discovered through CWE. From her first meeting with an advisor to guidance on financial decisions, CWE provided clarity, support, and insights that helped her avoid mistakes and grow confidently.

Beyond the advice, Wendy found something just as valuable: a community of inspiring women-owned businesses and passionate professionals ready to share knowledge, experiences, and encouragement.

Certification isn’t just a credential, it’s a gateway to mentorship, connection, and growth.

No matter where you are in your business journey, CWE meets you there.

DID YOU HEAR? Two Massachusetts leaders will join us at the 2026 CWE Business Summit!

Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell and Zenobia Moochhala, Undersecretary of Business Strategies for the Executive Office of Economic Development will be part of our opening session, Building the Future Together: Entrepreneurs and Policymakers Unite!, moderated by Sandy Lish, Principal and Co-founder of The Castle Group.

This interactive conversation is an opportunity to hear about efforts to support entrepreneurs, and for entrepreneurs to bring their own voices to the conversation. Ask questions, share the realities of running a business, and be part of a dialogue about how we can build a stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem together.

And that’s just how the day begins!

Sometimes one conversation is all it takes. A new client. A future collaborator. A mentor. A resource you didn’t know existed. Or an introduction that opens the door to your next opportunity. Join us!

🗓 October 7, 2026
⏰ 7:30am - 3:00pm
📍 College of the Holy Cross | Worcester, MA
🔗 Online registration is closed. If you don't yet have a ticket, reach out to [email protected] to check seat availability.
